You mean DUI, right? If you did not take the roadside test, did you take the breathalyzer test at the police station, or a blood test? Did you refuse to take a test? When you go to court, if there is no test, what evidence will the officer, solicitor or DA present to prove you were DUI? If you were... View More

Very difficult to answer. Search the internet for alcohol absorption rates for gender, height and weight. Regardless of those factors, medical issues may affect alcohol absorption rates. So may certain chemicals, drugs, diets. There simply is no "one" answer to your question.

Answer depends on too many "ifs". Generally, if an adult (a 21 year old) is participating in drinking with minors, most police officers will seek to determine if the alcohol was supplied by the adults, or the supply was controlled by the adults. Always best for 21 year olds (adults) to... View More

Unfortunately, need more information to answer your question. In a DUI, you should be read an Implied Consent card, and a Miranda warning after your arrest. If you have made any statements, a good lawyer may be able to get those suppressed, depending on the circumstances.

I do not see a specific question, however, an officer needs probable cause in order to pull you over in the first place. Unless you give the officer permission to search your car, which I would never do, the officer cannot search the car without a warrant, in most cases of DUI. Need more... View More
He wants me to pay him child support and take the house, can he do this if we had reconciled. He is even serving papers to the other man.

He can certainly try to do this, but whether he is successful depends on a number of factors. The adultery alone may not tip the scales in his favor, given the reconciliation. However, you need a lawyer ASAP.
Do I have to answer questions without an attorney or lawyer representing me?

Yes, you will be expected to answer questions under oath at a deposition even if you do not have a lawyer. But you should first make very sure the other side has complied with the various rules related to subpoenas and service. You really need a lawyer to determine that. Keep shopping.

Not sure why 13 years has elapsed without an earlier demand for the jewelry, but, if the final decree ordered him to return the jewelry, and he sells it, I think you have both a contempt issue and an equitable issue. Contact an attorney ASAP. If you cannot get your jewelry back, you may be able to... View More
My wife and me are both retired military, how would our pensions work in a divorce? Mine is the higher pension. We were married for 17 years of her 20 years of service and 19 years of my 22 years of service. Would she get 1/2 mine and I get 1/2 hers? I know there may be extra factors to consider.... View More

there is an arithmetic formula involved, but the amount of each other's military retirement you would each be eligible for is able to be calculated by a divorce attorney familiar with military divorce. You may also be able to enter into a settlement agreement with each other that would... View More

there is nothing that requires your lawyer to enter into a retainer agreement with you. However, if you sign one, you must be given a copy of. if you asked for an agreement, or a copy of one,and he or she will not give it to you, do you really want to stay with that lawyer?

yes, it can be lowered, but it will require you going back to court for a modification. If your pay has decreased in an amount that the court deems a material change in circumstances,your support can be lowered.
If my divorce document states this and the minor child just graduated from high school how do I get child support to stop being garnished from my paycheck. What paperwork do I need to file and where? Our original agreement stated that both parties agreed child support did not need to be garnished... View More

you should contact an attorney and be prepared to go back to court. It is unclear whether your page is being garnished by the state of Georgia or by your employer through a income deduction order.

it is possible to modify child visitation for many reasons. Is it the children who wanted visitation to be an option here, or is it the noncustodial parent, or is it the custodial parent?

it is not entirely clear what you are asking, but if you are referring to kids of hers which you have not biologically fathered or adopted, I do not see an effect on their status.

if you are asking whether or not he could get the baby based on your admitted adultery four years ago, the answer is Probably Not.

Yes, the grounds in this case would be "irretrievable breakdown" or no fault divorce. The two of you would agree to those grounds.,
